About Me

Hi, I’m Garry. I operate at the intersection of software engineering, product solutions, and financial technology.

Currently, I work at ShopBack as a Management Associate on Accounts in the ShopBack Pay team, bridging the gap between technical infrastructure, product solutions, and commercial account management. Having a background in full-stack software engineering allows me to translate complex technical architectures into viable, revenue-driving solutions.

How We Can Work Together

Whether you need end-to-end digital builds, high-leverage content, or technical consultation, I take on select freelance projects across a few core areas:

Web Design & Full-Stack Development: Modern, high-performance web applications, interactive landing pages, and custom Shopify/e-commerce platforms built with clean, scalable code.
Technical & Domain Writing: Research-backed articles, product breakdowns, and guides covering fintech, personal finance mechanics, credit card/miles strategy, and developer tooling.
Solutions & Automation Consulting: Helping teams scope product integrations, streamline operational workflows using AI/automation tools, and align engineering capabilities with business goals.

Have a project in mind? Get in touch or reach out via LinkedIn to discuss scope and timelines.
